Airline passengers were all given survey questions about their treatment on airlines and here are the results. Although you now know the three top airlines in Jordan and how they rated, you may be interested to know how some of the other airlines rated. Jordanian Airlines was the favorite airline and had 100% customer satisfaction. American Airlines had 67% customer satisfaction and US Airways had a 61% customer satisfaction. Flying to Jordan from America or the UK is very long and if you are going to pay the same cost, you better enjoy the flight and the service. Airlines with 100% customer satisfaction from survey questions are more than a few. Here is a small sampling of those who marked very excellent. They were: Jordanian Airlines, Aegean Airlines, Air Baltic, Atlantic Airways, Cape Air, Eastern Airways, Gulf Air, Jet 4 U, Mesa Airlines, Norwegian Air Shuttle, Pacific Airways, Philippine Airlines and Virgin Blue. Airlines with the worse customer ratings were: Aerolineas Argentinas, Air Almatry, Air Busan, Air India, Biman Bangladesh Airlines, Blue 1, Canadian North, CSA, Iceland Express, Mexicana, Onur Air, Royal Air Maroc, Saudia, Spirit Airlines and Tunis Air. Keep in mind that the most recommended and the airlines with the lowest scores were based on customer survey questions. This is not saying that the airline is inferior. This is only a small sampling of all the passengers that flew, but certainly something to consider. Choosing an airline based on customer satisfaction reports may not be the best way to choose an airline.

American Airlines is the 4th largest airline in passenger miles and so when comparing their customer satisfaction record, you must look at the 67% compared to how many flights they took. The reason this company is so huge is due to overall customer satisfaction. However, Royal Jordanian's reviews looks very excellent at this point.
